I can be a little off sometimes, if the line just stops dont go into a panic lol when they loose radar coverage on you or your cancel flight following you wont be able to see the flight anymore.

If he’s receiving VFR traffic advisories, you *may* be able to see him on FlightAware – You’ll need to know the tail number of the plane he’s flying, and either punch that into the “Tail #” field on FlightAware or go to http://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N12345 and replace the N12345 with the tail number of the plane he’s flying.

However, this is kind of hit-or-miss – Sometimes, controllers don’t enter the flight’s information into the main FAA computers, in which case he may not show up on FlightAware. For reliable tracking, the Spot messenger suggestion is a good one. Otherwise, FlightAware is about as good as it gets.
